Ace Flats

Reading, Massachusetts

Ace Flats

Community vision: activate a underutilized parcel immediately adjacent to the commuter rail to increase the tax base and drive economic development downtown.

After the expansion of the smart growth zoning by the town, Causeway acquired a former non-profit office building and parking lot and permitted, designed, built, and marketed 55 apartments and 3,400 square feet of retail. Located in Reading’s downtown and adjacent to the Reading commuter rail, Ace Flats has significantly increased the tax revenue for the town, improved foot traffic for the commuter rail and neighboring businesses, and added to the town's affordable housing stock (with 13 of 55 units income restricted).
